There Is A Increasing Likelihood Of Plowable Snow Accumulations On Tuesday & Tuesday Night Across Western & Central Mass

For Tonight: Any leftover scattered snow showers will come to an end by about 7-8 pm this evening.

Skies are then expected to be clear to partly cloudy throughout the overnight hours.

Low temperatures will be between 20 and 25 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph.

Saturday: An area of high pressure will control the weather throughout the day on Saturday.

This means that lots of sunshine can be expected throughout the day on Saturday and it will continue to be windy.

High temperatures will be between 35 and 40 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30-35 mph.

Sunday & Sunday Night: A frontal system is expected to push across the area during Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening.

Cloudy skies are expected throughout the day on Sunday. Widespread showers will overspread the region by early afternoon. Showers are then expected to continue throughout the rest of the afternoon right through the evening hours.

High temperatures Sunday will be between 40 and 45 Degrees. Winds will be South to Southwest at 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.

Low temperatures Sunday night will be near 30 Degrees. Winds will be West at 15 to 25 mph.

Plowable Amounts Of Snow Is Looking Increasingly More Likely On Tuesday & Tuesday Night: It appears that accumulating and very possibly plowable amounts of snow will occur during Tuesday and Tuesday night as an area of low pressure tracks near the Southern New England coastline.

An area of low pressure is expected to form over the northern Gulf on Monday night and then track northeastward reaching the Mid-Atlantic coast by Tuesday afternoon. The low pressure system may then track to near the Cape by Tuesday night and reach Atlantic Canada on Wednesday.

Snow looks to overspread the region around mid to late morning Tuesday and then continue through Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening. The snow looks to then gradually come to an end during the after midnight hours of Tuesday night.

That all said, there is uncertainty as to where exactly this storm system will track in relation to our area. A further offshore track would mean a very light snowfall across the region, while a storm track right over southern New England would potentially mean a mixed bag of snow, sleet and rain. Also, should this storm track near or just east of the Cape, then we could be looking at a heavy snowfall across the region.

Right now, I think that we might be looking at a mostly all snow event across the entire region. The exception to this may be over the Pioneer Valley of Western Mass and across southeastern parts of Worcester County where the snow could mix with and even change to sleet and rain during Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening.

All-in-all, this is currently looking like a 3 to 6 inch snowfall across the entire area. Amounts closer to 3 to 4 inches of snow might occur across southern parts of Worcester County and across the Pioneer Valley & amounts closer to 6 inches of snow accumulation may occur over the northern Worcester Hills and the Berkshires.

I am keeping close tabs on this storm system and will have many more updates over the next few days.
